AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of monumental vases in French porcelain, attributed to Jacob Petit, dating from the mid-19th century, circa 1830-1860.
Each vase stands an impressive 41 cm tall; the two vases feature a particularly elaborate decorative composition, characteristic of the Neo-Rococo taste of the manufactory.
The decor combines a deep pink-purple background, turquoise-blue reserves, gilded highlights, and hand-painted pastoral scenes. The bases are adorned with relief putti scenes, while the upper sections display floral medallions.
The richly worked handles, openwork reliefs, and dynamic shapes testify to the refined decorative know-how of this production.
